Dhcp settings are being overwritten by PC

I had a fiber optic connection installed with a wireless router for my daughters computer. The router is DHCP. Every time the installer tried to connect to the wireless router with my G4 PC using a cable the proper codes would be over written by my computer in less than a second. How can I get my apple to stop this.

Not quite sure what you mean by "installer" (the guy that installed the fibre optic?) but previous repsonse is correct that you should check that internet connection sharing is off - part of the effect of that setting is to make your G4 a DHCP server on a subnet of 192.168.2.x - if the other system is getting an IP address along the lines of 192.168.2.2 that is your problem. And if you have just upgraded from a connection that you were sharing to a peer-to-peer enviroenment with a separate router/DHCP server this is very likely the answer.

  • System settings are being updated??

    I bought an eMac from a friend of my husband's, and there wasn't the Safari icon to connect to the internet.  So, I clicked on the apple icon at the top left of the screen, then clicked on Mac OS X, and it would usually open up the internet browser and I could surf the web from there.  Well, my husband was messing around with the computer to try and figure things out, and now when I click on that same thing a gray box pops up in the middle of the screen and says that my system settings are being updated and it's unable to open my preferred web browser and I need to try again in a few minutes.  This started last night, so it's been well over 24 hours, as we let it set there thinking it just wasn't finished updating.  How do I get rid of that? 

    Hello Mrs. Long,
    Did you get the 10.4 Install Discs with it? If so power down, hold mouse button down at power on to open the tray & inset Install Disc, hold Option/alt key at same time to bring up the Startup manager so you can choose the Install Disk to boot from.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I've noticed that many web sites have data areas that are being overwritten. But they display just fine with IE

    Columns are being overwritten. Seems like a "table" command doesn't know where all the columns should be displayed. Don't know if the web sites are being written by Microsoft type software or what......:-(

  • Get MacOS Software.  Your Syhstem Settings are being upgraded.

    When I press the Apple on the far left upper corner, I get the following Error Message:
    Get Mac OS Sofware. Your system setings are being updated. Unable to open your preferred browser; Try again in a few minutes.
    I have had this problem for more than ten hours, even after re-booting. I don't have any software loading issues that I know of.
    Does anyone have any hint?

    There may be some system corruption issues; and if Disk Utility,
    booted from the OS X Installer disc and run from there, can't fix
    re: 'repair disk' or 'repair disk permissions' you may have to go
    as far as consider an "Archive and Install", and update.
    If there is enough free space on the hard disk drive to put a new
    system folder on there, in addition to whatever else already is,
    and the hard disk drive is not corrupted at some low-level; an
    archive and install should save your work, and if you select the
    installer to save your old settings and user information, that would
    be carried over to the new System folder. After some time, and if
    things go OK, you could trash the old Previous System folder.
    Can you start the computer up in SafeBoot, then use the computer's
    Disk Utility to 'repair disk permissions' then quit the utility, and restart?
    Does the issue change, or if you do these basic repairs, stay messed?
    The situation you describe is not anything I've seen in the Mac OSX.
    I'd recommend trying to save what you can and work on wiping out
    the hard disk drive at some point, having the booted installer's Disk
    Utility over-write the drive with Zeros, then reformat to HFS+, and
    do an all new installation and full update, from scratch. Totally new.
    And that would let you know if the hard disk drive is messing up, too.
    The SMART status should give you some idea of the drive health;
    and on one of the included discs with the computer, you have an option
    of running the computer in the Apple Hardware Test...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Old settings are being applied to all photos

    Well I edited a .jpg in bridges ACR. I choose about 5 other pictures to sync up with those settings. After I synced those my eintire folder synced to those settings. When I tried to edit>devolpe settings>clear settings nothing happend. When I purged cache all the files clear to default then one by one went back to the other settings with saturations and viggnettes. Now whenever I open any folder in bridge the settings are all aplied to my new folders and all my pictures. When I'm in a new folder I can select all and clear settings then start fresh, but if I close bridge and reopen those old settings are reapllied. This happens to all types of pictures to include CR2, DNG and JPGs.

    When I purged cache all the files clear to default then one by one went back
    to the other settings with saturations and viggnettes. Now whenever I open any
    folder in bridge the settings are all aplied to my new folders and all my
    pictures.
    Sounds like you have accidently set a new camera Raw default?. First open a
    file in ACR and in the basic tab right next to 'basic' is a little menu icon
    with a fly out menu. Choose reset Camera Raw defaults and try again.

  • My the contents ipad email messages are being overwritten by subsequent email messages

    I've got a popd email account which I access through a 4th gen IPAD, which was running 8.11.  The contents of two  messages (which had a lot of jpgs attached) was overwritten by a different email which arrived later in the day.  So the subject line is from the original email but the content is from an email received a couple of hours later.  The newer email is also still there with it's own content and subject.

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and your number should be there. Remove the checkmark for the Apple ID email address.

  • Why do stills appear clearer when Photo Settings are being modified?

    I have noticed that stills imported from iPhoto are grainier than how they appear in iPhoto. When adjusting the Photo Settings, the stills are as clear as they are in iPhoto. Any suggestions as to what is causing this? More importantly, what can be done to improve the clarity. Thanks.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Stills that are imported from iPhoto can be reduced in resolution because DV has a lower pixel resolution that most photos.
    When using the Photo Settings, you are working with the higher resolution original. When you finish adjusting, iMovie renders the image into DV.
    I believe this is what's going on.
    Cheers,
    David

  • Sync settings are being ignored

    I have Thunderbird set to sync only the last 3 months but it is ignoring that and syncing all messages for all dates, for the folders for each of my Gmail labels, although it is syncing the main Inbox for only 3 months.
    How do I get it to stop syncing all those label folders?

    Thanks.
    In case anyone at Mozilla reads this:
    It is staggeringly confusing to have these various folder functions that are completely connected at every level located in two completely different, mutually inaccessible locations in the settings. I am a 'power user' who has taught myself GIS and advanced statistics software (SAS) and can say the folder management is far more confusing than it needs to be.
    I've been casually looking around the settings for months trying to figure this out, assuming - incorrectly - that something so basic will be self-explanatory, i.e. under "Server" or "Synchronization" settings. I didn't make a focused effort because it was inconceivable it wouldn't be somewhere in there. People shouldn't have to dig around in forums and post questions about this.

  • My Network settings are being changed by another program??

    When i open up system preferences>network an alert window pops up to say "your network settings have been changed by another program"...so naturally i click the 'o.k' button to get rid of it, but it immediately pops up again.
    So its impossible to make changes in my network settings because it'll keep popping up, meaning the only way to close system preferences is to force quit.
    What could this other program be? could it be my ISP (virgin media) messing about with my settings?
    so until i can fix my problem i cant even change any of the settings in the 'network' panel of 'system preferences'.......and you guys ideas to fix this would be appreciated!!

    This recently happened to me. Go to System Prefs, Security. Click on Require Password to Unlock each secure system preference. That should do it. After you fix it, go in to security prefs again to uncheck it, or you will have to enter password each time you want to change any system prefs.

  • What are DHCP settings and what is a DHCP lease

    My macbook has decided to stop logging on to my wifi router automatically.
    Seems the DHCP settings are wrong with an inappropriate IP address and Submask coded applied.
    When I change them back manually to what they were the computer says it is logged on to internet but refuses to open any internet application?
    I have tried the DHCP lease renewal prompt but still will not award appropriate IP or Submask code

    Hi RobertaMcC,
    Are you having trouble with a Wi-Fi connection or a wired (Ethernet) connection to the internet?  DHCP is a communications protocol that assigns each computer a unique IP address on the internet.    I'll include the information you specifically requested first, and general troubleshooting steps as well.

  • Does anyone know where IAC settings are stored?

    does anybody know in which preferences file the custom IAC channel settings are being stored? i am trying to copy my settings over from 10.5.8 to 10.6
    thanks!

    I added a bus to the IAC via Audio Midi setup, closed it and then looked at which file in the preferences had the right modification time. It turned out to be this one:
    /Users/'you'/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.000a959c7684.plist
    So try copying that one, and see if it works...

  • Messages from sender being overwritten by another in my inbox- why?

    I am missing messages from senders because they are being overwritten by messages from another sender when they get to my inbox. The original sender is listed in the header as "From", but the rest of the info in the header is for the other sender. Both senders are expected (both are newsletters). This happens randomly and has been happening for a couple months. Any ideas on what is happening?
    Update: This is continuing to happen as of today ( 19-Nov-2014). One message was downloaded and filtered to one of my local folders correctly, but then it also overwrote another message currently downloaded in my inbox, but left the Thunderbird inbox 'from' and 'subject' fields intact indicating the sender of the message that it overwrote in my inbox. But when I open it, I get the same newsletter that was filtered to the folder (in the same download batch) as the newsletter that opens in my inbox with the sender/subject of the other newsletter. This is very frustrating... I'm considering alternative to Thunderbird.

    Hi,
    I'm with Russ. This sounds ugly and I've never seen it before. However, there is another interesting thing that happened to someone else in 9.0.4 version recently where the workbook was owned by one owner, shared to another, a modification made to the workbook by the shared to userid. The original workbook accepted the change. It sounds like this was caused by IDENTIFIER issues. Could it be possible, (improbable I think), that the IDENTIFIER on each worksheet is the same? I don't know how this could happen but I bet a million dollars once (that I don't have) that the workbook situation couldn't happen. To check this, right click on each worksheet name and checkout the IDENTIFIER. I also think you should log a SR. It would be nice if you would post the resolution here once one is found.
    The workbook issue has been logged as bug 7565438 . (problem identified by stephen lee)
    Thanks for sharing an interesting issue!

  • When texting someone and they reply their replies are not coming through to me and they are being told they are texting the wrong Ipod number....help!

    I tried to text my moms phone yesterday and she said she replied but I never got it....a couple hours later someone texted her and said she was texting the wrong number. I had to have my iTunes re-enabled because my account was compromised, could they have given my old number to someone else if so how do I get a new nukmber for my ipod for texting?

    You don't need to login to these workstations at all
    for the registry to take effect. All you need to do is let the workstations sit in the OU and "soak" the new policy , then restart the stations remotely/manually once or twice. I have about 60 OUs that work this way.
    the only other 2 things left are: 1) check if policy replicates to all DCs 2) format reinstall that client or use 2-3 different clients and 2-3 regular PC workstations to test the settings. the 2nd option will confirm if the DevotIT locked the registry settings
    down or not.
          I am using two computers to check this and one uses Windows Vista, the computer configuration settings are being applied, but when I do a gpresult /h c:\report.html and have a look there are no registry entries in there.  When I
    do the same thing on the thin client, the registry entries show up in the report.html file.  Why would that be?  Is there an issue with Windows Vista?
         Also, how can I troubleshoot the replication without creating folders on sysvol.  I don't want to mess with sysvol folder.
         Do you know what the Error message means?  I am trying to search for it but haven't really found much.  Is there maybe a listing of errors with GPOs? 
       ***** UPDATE:  *****
               I checked the details of "Thin Client Lockdown and I have Computer version: 18 (AD) and SysVol (19)   
               They are supposed to be the same numbers correct?
       ***** UPDATE: July 11th, 1:29 pm *****      
               I created a new OU and new policy from scratch.  No modifications at all and all new names.  There should be no conflicts at all.  Still getting that error.  No matter how many times I reboot and
    no matter what domain server comes up, I still get the same thing.  Both my vista computer and thin client have been moved over to the new OU.
             I might create a new thread to put more attention on this issue.
